Bellinzona, Switzerland

Collegiate Church of Bellinzona

Alleluia Orchestra had the unique opportunity to play in the historic Chiesa Collegiata Dei Santi Pietro e Stefano Christian Catholic church in Bellinzona, Switzerland. People from various faith backgrounds came together to fill this beautiful cathedral that began construction in 1515 and was consecrated in 1565. Our orchestral sounds joined with hundreds of voices to create an amazing night of musical worship.

Pastor Milco Margaroli and his wife Daniela Margaroli Ferrini from Chiesa Ticino Online extended friendship to us and arranged this concert for the people of Bellinzona.

We received a warm welcome from the Mayor of Bellinzona, Mario Branda, who extended a generous invitation for a second visit!

Switzerland is founded in Christian faith and continues to culturally embrace God’s love. The Swiss identity is rooted in more than chocolate, cheese, banking and precise watches… Learn more about the beautiful people and heritage here:
